On the warmups I would avoid actually going over the reps you plan to work with, whether it's empty bar or not. So in other words I'd do a couple of sets of 5 rather than one set of 10. It's good not to take a chance of building up any lactic acid in the muscles because that will retard strength output.

You spoke about your back being fatigued in the other thread. Don't underestimate how much those rows contribute to that. I'd rather see someone switch to a supported row of some kind, whether maching, cable, bench, or uni dumbell (partial support) rather than needlessly fatiguing the entire back and therfore retarding progress on the bigger exercises. Especially when the purpose of rows is to work the middle back and to some extent the upper back, but not the lower back.

Also it wasn't mentioned in the other thread but it may be time to stop having deads twice a week on alternate weeks so instead of having ABA you could switch to three workouts rather than two that you alternate.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
